Logan Photo Teases a Mysterious Motel

For a superhero film releasing less than half a year from now, things had been awfully quiet on the front of the upcoming third Wolverine solo film until very recently. It's only been half a week now since we've even had a name for the film (Logan), but since the official poster unveiling, there has been a steady stream of details and images trickling in to tantalize eager fans. Director James Mangold (The Wolverine) released a page from the very R-rated script by Michael Green (Green Lantern) and David James Kelly, which is set to feature Hugh Jackman wearing the claws for the last time.

The image evokes a strong stylistic intent, but it's also extremely sparse on details. There is also the silhouette of a man in the reflection who appears to be wearing a fedora, though it seems more likely that this is an extra or crew member than a principal cast member of the film. Unlike the previous image, this one takes place in an English-speaking country, so either Logan is a globetrotting adventure or the story takes place on the U.S./Mexican border.

Focusing on the style of the image -- it's black and white, like the others. While it's highly doubtful that Logan will be filmed in black and white, the promotional imagery seems designed to indicate a noirish intent. We've frequently heard that Logan would be stylistically different than every X-movie we've seen before. Could this be an indication that we're due for a gritty mystery thriller with Wolverine in the role of the hard-boiled detective? Hopefully, a trailer will hit sooner than later to give us some real details.

Be sure to share any fan-theories in the comments section, and stay tuned to Screen Rant for updates on Logan as they hit.

Loganopens in U.S. theaters on March 3, 2017, followed by unannounced X-Men films on October 6, 2017, March 2, 2018, and June 29, 2018. Deadpool 2, Gambit, New Mutants and X-Force are currently in development.
